LAS VEGAS, NV – Window World, Inc., the nation’s largest replacement window company, will feature “The Stinger,” a 2011 concept show car and tribute to the first winning Indianapolis 500 car, in the Fan Zone of the IZOD IndyCar World Championship at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino Las Vegas from Oct. 13 – Oct. 15 and at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway Oct. 16.

The Stinger showcases the signatures of more than 177 former Indy 500 starters with some of these being former World Championship winners. Window World Cares, the charitable foundation of Window World, is making a donation for each signature received to support causes such as St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and Veterans Airlift Command. Since 2008, Window World Cares has raised more than $2.1 million for St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and supported 16 missions for Veterans Airlift Command and donated more than 40,000 miles.

Currently, the Stinger features the signatures of legends and drivers, including Mario Andretti, Dan Wheldon, Dario Franchitti, Buddy Rice, Tom Sneva, Johnny Rutherford, Scott Dixon, Helio Castroneves, Tony Stewart, Sébastien Bourdais, Bill Vukovich Jr., Larry Dickson and Steve Krisiloff.

“The story of the Stinger is a story of hope we can tell through Window World Cares, from children battling life-threatening diseases to wounded or special needs soldiers who have stood up for our freedom,” said Tammy Whitworth, chairman and CEO, Window World, Inc. and co-founder, Window World Cares. “The Indianapolis 500 legends have served as inspiration to those who race, but it is the children, veterans and their families that we work with on a daily basis that inspire us to do all we can to help.”

The No. 100 Stinger, developed by John Andretti, Andretti Autosport and Window World, was unveiled at the 100th Indianapolis 500 in May. It features a yellow and black color scheme taken directly from the 1911 Marmon Wasp.

“We are so thrilled for the stinger to be a part of the IndyCar World Championship here in Las Vegas and pay tribute to the legendary drivers that have autographed the car,” said Dana Deem, president, Window World, Inc. “More importantly, we’re humbled to tell the story of our work with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital and hope we will inspire others to contribute to this worthy organization.”
